The Florists^ Review 



May 11, 1922 



pay the unnecessary cost of operation — 

 these are contained in the report of the 

 House committee on labor in a bill to 

 establish a commission to inquire into 

 labor conditions in the coal industry. 



The report states that the committee 

 on labor attempted to obtain all-impor- 

 tant facts relating to the coal indus- 

 try with special regard to the cost of 

 production and the labor cost of pro- 

 duction, together with working and liv- 

 ing conditions of the employee, the re- 

 tail and wholesale price of coal, its 

 transportation, the profit made by the 

 producer and various middlemen, and 

 other matters which had a direct bear- 

 ing upon the wages of employees in coal 

 mines and the occasion for industrial 

 disputes, including the strike in the 

 mining fields now in existence. 



The committee sought information 

 from the Geological Survey, the Bureau 

 of Mines, the Department of Labor Sta- 

 tistics, the Bureau of the Census, the 

 Federal Trade Commission, the Inter- 

 state Commerce Commission, and the 

 statisticians of the United Mine Work- 

 ers of America and the National Coal 

 Operators' Association. It early devel- 

 oped that little authentic, definite in- 

 formation could be obtained from any 

 source. 



The proposed commission would con- 

 sist of ten members, as follows: The di- 

 rectors of the Geological Survey, Bureau 

 of Mines and Bureau of the Census, the 

 commissioner of labor statistics, two 

 members representing the public, two 

 members representing the miners, and 

 two members representing the opera- 

 tors. The bill sets out as the purpose 

 of the agency the right of Congress to 

 obtain information as a basis for legis- 

 lation to (a) settle industrial disputes 

 in and to prevent the overdevelopment 

 of the coal industry; (b) to stabilize 

 such industry and levy taxes in respect 

 thereto; (c) to regulate commerce in coal 

 among the several states and with for- 

 eign nations; (d) to provide a coal sup- 

 ply for the maintenance of the navy 

 and the merchant marine, and (e) to 

 protect the coal supply for the District 

 of Columbia, and forts, magazines, ar- 

 senals, shipyards and other j)ublic build- 

 ings of the United States outside of the 

 District of Columbia. 



The agency created has no adminis- 

 trative power except to obtain facts, 

 does not purjiort to regulate, control 

 or influence the industry in any way, 

 and in any event can not fall within the 

 class of cases where regulation is denied 

 the federal government to matters 

 purely intrastate. T. N. S. 



FLORISTS AS WATER CONSUMERS. 



Ijaying Mains and Supplying Water. 



In a recent case before it the New 

 Jersey court of chancery had occasion 

 to discuss several important Ifgal 

 phases of the relationship which exists 

 between the florist and a water com- 

 pany which supplies premises (Mill- 

 ville Iniprovement Co. vs. Millville 

 Water Co., 113 Atlantic Reporter 516). 

 Discussing various matters concerning 

 right to refuse service because a former 

 occupant of the premises has failed to 

 pay his bill, right of the company to 

 adopt rules governing consumers, etc., 

 the court says, in part: 



"It is well recognized that a water 

 company, though charged with the 

 public duty of furnishing water to all 

 of the inhabitants without discrimina-
